Top scores for Johnson and Haeri
Johnson's dissertation, Painting the Town Equal, examined the role of public art in the slow renewal of an African metropolis - Johannesburg. Having completed her Honours degree, she will be putting further studies on ice with the aim of relocating to Johannesburg 'where I hope to continue getting my hands dirty in the dynamic project that is public art in the city'.
In Cracked Heirlooms, Haeri looked at 'race, identity and the teaching of apartheid in four classrooms in the "new" South Africa'. As a student of Social Anthropology, Haeri's
particular area of interest was 'the social dimension of education'. In her thesis she considered how different members of South Africa's 'born free' generation understand and relate to the apartheid history they learn in the post-apartheid classroom. In 2012, she heads for Dharamsala where she intends to explore education practices linked to Buddhist philosophy.
